Truly hope that the campaign to save The Tumble Down is successful and that the land/building can be purchased?

It is simply beyond belief, that this wonderful and historical building could even be earmarked for demolition, especially to make way for a McDonalds!

Our young people need us to challenge and fight against such ill-informed designs by the local council. We have a duty to protect such beautiful buildings for future generations, a McDonalds is simply an insult!

Yes, we’re aiming for success and also hope that the land and building can be purchased – there’s just the little issue of the imminent planning application from the fast food outlet to deal with first.

It is indeed an insult for the council and anyone else to have even entertained the thought of the Tumbledown Dick becoming a McDonald’s. There are hundreds of years of history and culture in the fabric of that building and the idea of it becoming a homogeneous food factory just sticks in my throat – There are already 1,200 McDonald’s in this country but there is only one Tumbledown.

And you might be interested in this excellent book called The McDonaldization of Society – It looks at how the fast food outlet is affecting societies across the world and there are some eye opening insights into the giant that wants our pub…

Hi there. Do you have anyone advising you on a suitable legal structure that can enshrine community ownership and enable you to raise finance? We may be able to help with free support through the Co-operative Enterprise Hub. If you are interested, drop me a line with a contact phone number and I can talk through some of the issues with you.
